Don’t Cook Tonight – Call Turkey Delight!
Practically
every chef, cook or homeowner has a personal version of the Thanksgiving Dinner
that went horribly pear-shaped! Burned dressing, cardboard-flavored turkey,
undercooked sides. Then there are the people who want the classic meal but just
simply don’t have the time to cook it! Also, let’s not forget the smart cooks
who order the perfectly cooked bird from the local deli and make all of the
sides and desserts themselves. Any way you cut it letting somebody else do the
dirty work might seem like cheating the ultimate test is how the meal comes
out! For those of you culinary-challenged individuals out there here is the
ultimate list local businesses who will cook a winning Thanksgiving Turkey
dinner for you!
